Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 lime Lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring that the grates are clean and free of any debris.
Husk the corn, removing all the silk strands and any loose husk leaves.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix well.
Brush each ear of corn with the seasoned olive oil mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly.
Place the corn directly on the grill grates, positioning them perpendicular to the grates to prevent slipping through.
Grill the corn for about 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs. Look for a nice char on all sides and that the kernels have become tender.
Remove the corn from the grill and place on a serving platter.
While the corn is hot, spread 1 tablespoon of butter over each ear, allowing it to melt and enrich the corn with its buttery goodness.
Garnish the corn by sprinkling the chopped cilantro evenly over the ears.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the corn before eating, adding a refreshing citrusy note to the smoky flavors.
